Hi.
Yes, it is true, but you can turn it off. But for my own opinion, I would
say that using the MS firewall is like using Narrator as opposed to
Window-Eyes or JFW. Knowing how bad MS is at security, I don't believe I
would ever use their firewall. Sygate is my personal favourite, but Kerio,
Sygate and Zone Alarm are all streets better than the puny MS offering.
All the best
